What’s new in Android 10 for Nokia 5.1 Plus?
The update change-log for all Nokia Android One phones is identical. The Nokia 5.1 Plus is no different. Still, here’s an overview of what you’ll notice in the update release notes:
- Dark mode – Take it easy on your eyes
- Smart reply – Save more time with recommended actions
- Gesture navigation – Get around with a swipe and pull
- Additional controls for privacy and location
- Google security patch (2020-04)
- VoWiFi Enabled (in the selected region and operator combinations, including India – Airtel and Jio)
The only way to take this update is via a system update from Android settings. You cannot manually install the update via the recovery mode since the metadata doesn’t correctly match the device name: pda_sprout. If you cannot wait, then your only option is to play with a VPN and fool the update server that you are from a different region.
